Happy Holidays

"You gotta hang in there. You don't know what's ahead. You don't realize the potential you have. You keep asking yourself, 'Is it really worth it?' But you gotta hang in there." -Brenda Morehead, sprinter

I'm just sending out a quick note to wish everyone a Happy Holidays.

Usually when things are a little confusing or difficult for me I go for a run (or lots of them). After my last marathon (Victoria), which many of you did, I was left with an IT band that was more sore than usual and a distinct lack of motivation. If you are like me the cold weather doesn't help either!

BUT, the New Year is upon us, which means resolutions, a fresh start, and better weather ahead. What are your training/race plans for the New Year? Please share them with the group. Did you know that a person is 80% more likely to finish a goal if he or she simple writes it down?

I read a great sentence last night. I hope it resonates as much with you as it did with me.

"Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now; and if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?" p141 A New Earth

If you have any friends or family that have started to run or exercise please feel free to invite them to my FB group:http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2827855600&ref=ts

What gift is better than a little inspiration. Best wishes over the holidays.

Cheers, Jesse
